Unfortunately, Tao downgraded the rear brake. I think it will be a mechanical drum brake actuated from the right foot peg on the 2024 model shown in that pic. So you won't be able to piggyback the hydraulic line.

It will take some clever engineering to figure this out! I don't suppose there's time to cancel the order. Other bikes DO have the hydraulic rear brake.
So they delivered a TBR7D which, among other upgrades, has a hydraulic rear disk brake. Right now I'm not having any issues with both the clutch and brake levers being on the same side together, but I'm definitely thinking HARD about combining the two brakes into just the foot pedal brake. A brass T and some braided steel line is about all I think I'd need.
